Actually can get ASM 1 & 2 easily. Just need to wake up at 2am. I usually still awake at 2am, so i knew.
I can vouch for what ikan bilis said. Accumulate 10k ASM1 over the past 3 nights waking up at 2am (actually i sleep late so i just stay until then) and i can get 3k first night, 3k second night and 4k this morning. This morning unique coz at 2am the apps says error cannot do anything at 2am and i waited until i officially going to bed (3.59am) and tried and got 4k one shot. I was moving funds from KDI save (3.5% EAR or 3.44%/365 a day interest) slowly to asm1. The amount as stated. 3k 3 days ago (first time can buy, 3k second night and 4k this morning). The money was suppose to be accumulate to buy stocks when recession hit but i change my mind 3 days ago coz i have been wanting asm1 for years but never get. I also got some asm3 past month. But asm1 my top priority.
As for why? Coz ASM no matter what is backed by gov. 4% is "okay". It's easy, its liquid (2k a month withdrawal max and the rest go bank or branch) so i take it as emergency fund plus it's safer than leaving in savings. FD requires me to go bank and make accounts or queue and it's not liquid. 1% higher is not "yet" a good trade off unless it's permenant for the rest of my life. FD can easily buy later if needed. Hyperinflation? In Malaysia? Got think of it. But cost of living is still lowest. Can survive la. Moving overseas? I have one plan which i considering end of year that requires me to fly to Singapore for it. Plan to do it. 4-5% per year with quarterly dividend. But i need to fly there to sign up for it. Can wait la. ASM 1 first

but the risk is the same. You need to park there and hope nothing happens. Which is more secure? ASM is still more secure and it's within reach and if i die, it can be pass on to my wife. Oversea one is harder to arrange coz it involves other country. Hence i still parking in Malaysia. Risk vs benefit. Ease vs difficulty. In the end ASM still give more in value. I sacrifice 1% yield for the gurantees, convenience and stability. That's my 2 cents... Don't kill me please
I will eventually consider EPF (just putting it out there) as it has the same gurantees, ease and stability and higher return but illiquid. 5 more years and i will then start moving funds into it. I don't see myself using a lot of money but i wanna leave the money liquid. 10 years is too "far" for me to be comfortable to lock the money up.
It's my opinion and 2 cents. Don't kill me.
